OS X, Full Release

He folks,

I've searched the archives and haven't found an answer to this...

I'm doing some writing on OS X and open source tools. I know that
Postgres worked
with the Public Beta, but I've been unable to get it to compile (or even
start compiling)
on the full release of OS X. I have an advanced copy of the full
release, and I'm guess
it will just be a few weeks before before one of y'all gets your hands
on the release and
makes the needed alterations. But I just wanted to make sure I wasn't
missing something
obvious.

I've tried using the source from versions 7.0.1 to 7.0.3. Each time I
try I get the message that it
couldn't figure out the host type. I tried using the --hosts flag and
indicating some of the more
obvious choices, but had no luck

Thanks.

Jay

No one that I know of has tried to make 7.0.* go on OS X.  Our current
7.1 beta releases should play though.

Use 7.1.  7.0 doesn't work on OS X.
